Category: Telephony and VoIP, Vendor: BroadSoft, Web and Application Servers

Description: Monitors BroadSoft BroadWorks Element Management System (EMS) operational status and provisioning activity.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is BW-BroadworksEMS-MIB?

Despite its BW-BroadworksEMS-MIB module name and filename (suggesting BroadSoft BroadWorks Element Management System monitoring), the actual source content is AdventNet's generic WebNMS agent-platform MIB, registered under the adventnet/webNMS enterprise branch with no BroadWorks- or BroadSoft-specific objects anywhere in the module. It defines a general-purpose NMS agent framework covering system health (webNMSVersion, webNMSHost, webNMSTotalMemory/FreeMemory, webNMSUpTime), a task-scheduler table (webNMSSchedulerTable, tracking active/idle worker threads), topology inventory (moTable, topoObjTable, networkTable, nodeTable, ipAddressTable, snmpNodeTable/snmpInterfaceTable), fault management (alertTable, eventTable, alarmTable, webNMSSeverityTable), performance polling and thresholds (pollTable, thresholdTable, statsDataTable), and supporting subsystems for TFTP transfers, SNMP proxying, sub-agent registration, and trap forwarding. Since BroadSoft's EMS platform was historically built on the AdventNet/WebNMS toolkit (per the file's own comment crediting the 'AdventNet Agent Toolkit'), this module most likely represents the underlying generic agent-framework OIDs that a BroadWorks EMS deployment would present, rather than BroadWorks-specific service objects. Monitoring it reveals the health of the management server process itself -- memory, scheduler load, and internal alarm/event backlog -- rather than telephony service state. Administrators deploying an EMS built on this toolkit can download the BW-BroadworksEMS-MIB file to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BW-BroadworksEMS-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • AdventNet/WebNMS-based EMS platforms (apparently underlying BroadSoft BroadWorks EMS deployments)

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls webNMSTotalMemory/webNMSFreeMemory and webNMSSchedulerActiveThreads/webNMSSchedulerIdleThreads to check whether the management server is resource-starved, and checks alarmTable and thresholdTable for outstanding unacknowledged alarms; a sustained drop in idle threads alongside a growing alarm backlog would indicate the EMS itself is falling behind on event processing.

What Can Be Monitored

  • management-server memory and uptime
  • scheduler thread pool utilization
  • topology/node/interface inventory tables
  • alert, event, and alarm tables
  • performance polling and threshold tables
  • TFTP/proxy/sub-agent subsystem status
